very good to know...I hadn't attempted this until I had my hands on some better tools...possibly saved me a ton of trouble.

I wasn't going to back them all the way out, but let me ask you this...Are these bolts lefty loosey, righty tighty? I have already run into some that are not and these are tight, I just don't want to strip anything.

thanks for confirmation

Need to look at replacing a faulty x-axis end stop switch. It's attached to a module that is in turn attached inside the housing for the motor, the one with the big QR code.

I tried the 4 bolts on the motor, as it looks like they go into the housing on the other side, but man those are tight bolts ...

I was able to upload the new configuration.h, still had some funny behavior...autohome wasn't effective, it just kept moving +10x and +10Y from it's current position. Tried printing and the head bumped into the other side of the gantry.

I put head in center of all axis, and ran M119...it said

11 ...

When you say send gcode M119 do you mean through something like easyprint or repetier? I tried that and looked at the logs but it's pretty undecipherable to me.

if I change configuration.h do I re-upload the whole firmware thing again?

I noticed that the Z endstop lights up when activated, but the ...

well damn...looks as though my x stopper is not functioning

aaaayyyyyy...thats what I'm talking about.

Thank you for the help

I get paid friday...i'll be sending a little ramen money for your monkeys...

so I have had nothing running when I try to get the firmware going...but that got me thinking about that it's going through a USB hub, so I turned the other connections off and ran the A10_marlin1.1.8 again..similar errors as before but this caught my attention...

Thanks for the responce.

I'm using Arduino 1.8.5 and it sees the port, COM 5.

I have used the firmware from the A10 FAQ or posts from vert
A10_marlin1.1.8
Geeetech_A10M_Marlin_1.1.9_Firmware

When I run A10_marlin1.1.8 today that I get this error.
